The list below shows which section heading each driver is listed under on the www.dell.com/support website for your system. Before choosing your drivers be sure and select the correct Operating system, I.e. Windows 7 from the drop down list.

Dell Control Point (DCP) is a Dell branded user interface for simplifying end user configuration of Dell hardware features. It combines several different configuration utilities into a single interface so that customers can more easily find and change a variety of settings on their portable system. One of these utilities is the Security Manager. The Security Manager has both an application and a driver package listed on the Resource DVD and on www.dell.com/support. Be sure to select the driver package to install the necessary drivers for security devices.

The driver package automatically detects which hardware is installed on the system and supports the following devices:

Microsoft Runtime Libraries SP1

UPEK TouchChip Fingerprint Reader

AuthenTec Fingerprint Reader

Dell Smartcard keyboard for XP

Dell Control Vault

XP Storage Driver Update for Trusted Drives

Dell PBA Device Driver

BioAPI Framework

Microsoft .NET Framework Patch for 7

Prior to installing the driver pack, Device Manager does not register a Credential Vault Device device entry. Installing the driver changes the entry, as shown below.
